*Percentages represent the amounts of the total dividends paid by the Funds from net investment income during the year ended
September 30, 1995, that have been designated as exempt-interest dividends. Tax legislation eliminated the exception to market
discount rules applicable to tax-exempt obligations. As a result, certain tax-exempt obligations acquired by the Portfolio
subsequent to April 30, 1993, at market discounts may generate a small amount of ordinary taxable income.

                                 TO SHAREHOLDERS


The global economy continues to demonstrate a pattern of slow growth with low
inflation. The U.S. economy is no exception, as Gross Domestic Product should
grow only modestly during 1995 at between 2% and 3%, with inflation of less than
3%. These characteristics bode well for all capital markets and particularly
fixed-income markets, including municipal bonds.

Indeed, municipal bonds performed well during the first half of 1995 by
realizing strong capital appreciation as a result of this favorable investment
environment. However, during this period, the municipal market underperformed
the taxable market because of concern about the potential passage of major tax
reform (e.g., flat tax, value added tax or consumption tax) legislation.

Were major tax reform to become law, municipal bonds would probably be
underperformers relative to taxable bonds because the current tax-advantaged
status of municipal bonds likely would be eliminated.

However, for many reasons, we at Eaton Vance believe there is little chance of
major tax reform legislation being enacted. For example, the inherent
regressivity of the various flat tax proposals will provoke much opposition, as
will proposals to eliminate such tax breaks as deductions for mortgage interest
and state and local taxes. Also, such proposals could seriously depress entire
sectors of the U.S. economy.

Accordingly, we view this recent underperformance by municipal bonds (because of
fears of tax reform) as a potential buying opportunity. Municipal bonds could
represent an attractive asset class at these current relative trading
relationships, with the potential for future outperformance for those investors
willing to adopt a patient, long-term investment horizon.

In addition, proposals are now circulating in both Congress and the White House
to reduce the nation's budget deficit by severely cutting expenditures over the
next decade. If enacted, such a concept would drastically reduce the federal
government's borrowing needs and, as a result, would exert a meaningful downward
influence on interest rates across the entire yield curve. All fixed-income
instruments, including municipal bonds, would benefit.

We will continue to monitor changes in economic and political conditions and to
pursue the goal of your Fund: to provide you with a competitive distribution of
tax-free income from a portfolio of quality municipal bonds.+

Included on the pages that follow are performance charts that compare your
Fund's total return with that of a broad-based securities market index. The
lines on the chart represent the total returns of $10,000 hypothetical
investments in your Fund and the unmanaged Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index.
The solid line on the chart represents the Fund's performance. The Fund's total
return figure reflects fund expenses and portfolio transaction costs, and
assumes the reinvestment of income dividends and capital gain distributions. The
dotted line represents the performance of the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond
Index, a broad-based, widely recognized unmanaged index of municipal bonds.
Whereas the Fund's portfolio comprises bonds principally from your individual
state, the Index is composed of bonds from all 50 states and many jurisdictions.
The Index's total return does not reflect any commissions or expenses that would
be incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities
represented in the Index.

YOUR INVESTMENT AT WORK
Sacramento Cogeneration Authority
Cogeneration Project Bonds

These bonds are being used to build a gas-fired cogeneration plant that will
produce electricity for the Sacramento Municipal Utility District. The plant
also will produce steam for a nearby Procter & Gamble manufacturing facility. It
is located on a 10-acre parcel next to the Procter & Gamble property.

The project is part of the Municipal Utility District's plan to reduce its
purchases of electrical power from local electric utilities. It is scheduled to
begin operation in 1996 and will be the second of up to four cogeneration plants
to be constructed in the Sacramento area.

THE STATE OF THE STATE: California 

California's economy is improving slowly. Gains in the northern part of the
state - in San Francisco and the Silicon Valley, for example - have been
partially offset by continued poor economic conditions in Orange and Los Angeles
Counties.

The Los Angeles County economy continues to lag, and the Orange County
government has been in bankruptcy since December, 1994, when losses in the
derivatives market drained nearly $1.7 billion from its investment pool. Both
counties are finding it necessary to cut back on government services; those
cutbacks have the effect of further dampening local economic activity.

While California's long-term economic outlook is positive, its current problems
are not likely to end soon, in part because of the magnitude of its outstanding
financial issues. The state, home to much import and export business with
Pacific Rim countries, has also been hurt by the depressed Japanese economy. It
could expect to recover more quickly if the Japanese economy were to improve.

FROM THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER:

"California is such a large state that we have been able to choose credits for
the Portfolio very selectively. In general, we have avoided Los Angeles County
debt, though we do hold two relatively secure specialized bonds from the area
for yield purposes. "Similarly, our holdings in Orange County are
disproportionately low because of the county's continuing financial problems.
Over time, we have been able to assess the full effect of those problems and can
say with assurance that the Portfolio's five credits located in the county have
not been affected by the county's financial problems."

YOUR INVESTMENT AT WORK
Martin County Industrial
Development Authority
Indiantown Cogeneration Project

The proceeds of this $125 million bond issue were used to refund bonds issued in
1992 used to build a portion of this cogeneration project.

The power plant will burn coal and supply electricity to Florida Power & Light
Company and steam to Caulkins Indiantown Citrus Company. Construction began in
1992 and is expected to be completed next year.

The 1992 bond proceeds financed the costs of acquiring, building and equipping
facilities for treatment of solid wastes associated with operating the
coal-fired cogeneration plant.

services sector, which is growing at a double-digit rate. Meanwhile, the
construction sector has been hampered by slower income and household growth.
State agencies project that Florida's population will grow at an annual rate of
nearly 2%, not as strong as the state had estimated earlier.

Tourism continues to be a cornerstone of the Florida economy. Tourism levels in
1995 have slightly exceeded the state's expectations. 

It is estimated that Florida's unemployment rate through 1995 will be 6.1%, a
significant drop from 8.2% at the peak of the recession in 1992.

The 1995 legislative session ended with approval of budget appropriations which,
adjusted for inflation, represent the smallest increase in state spending in
more than 10 years. Despite the need for substantial expenditures to accommodate
continuing growth, Florida's level of debt is considered moderate and its
economy stable.

FROM THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER: 

"The Florida health care market has been somewhat in disarray because of health
care reform. As a result, we have exercised caution when looking at health care
or hospital bonds. Through our proprietary research, we have been able to buy
high-quality hospital bonds at very attractive prices. 

"We have employed a two-pronged approach to the Portfolio, with an emphasis
on quality and also bonds that allow us to add to yield. 

"We are still very constructive on the Florida economy, and we continue to 
look for discount coupon bonds that add attractive characteristics to the
Portfolio."

YOUR INVESTMENT AT WORK
Plymouth County
Correctional Facility

These bonds were used to construct a new 1,140-bed prison to house federal,
state and county inmates in Plymouth. In addition to expanded housing
facilities, the project includes a modern medical facility. 

The project was designed to provide partial relief for the Commonwealth's
correctional system, which has become seriously overcrowded in the past decade.
As a state-of-the-art, "direct supervision" facility, the project aims to
provide a more successful correctional environment while reducing costs. The new
facility is operated by the Plymouth County Sheriff's Department.

THE STATE OF THE STATE: Massachusetts 

Massachusetts' employment levels have climbed significantly
in recent years, recovering roughly 60% of the jobs lost in the last recession.
Recent jobless rates have remained at or below the national rate, and personal
income growth continues to accelerate. Growth has been especially impressive in
the high technology and financial sectors. 

The Commonwealth has greatly improved its financial position. Debt levels, while
still too high, have nonetheless been reduced, while reserve levels have
increased to 3% of revenues. As a result, Massachusetts now enjoys enhanced
liquidity and more leeway with respect to operations, and should record a modest
surplus in the current fiscal year. As a reflection of the progress the
Commonwealth has made in recent years, its debt ratings have been upgraded to A1
and A+, considerably higher than they were at their lowest point in early 1991.
Looking ahead, the economy should continue to post modest growth. On the fiscal
front, the administration has recently initiated efforts to control social
spending. While opening a thorny political issue, the move could result in
further fiscal improvements in the future.

FROM THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER: 

"The Portfolio's exposure to the hospital sector remains quite low. Health care
institutions around the country are under increasing pressure from competition.
This condition is especially true in Massachusetts, where there are too many
hospital beds for the commonwealth's population.

"As a result, we do extensive research before adding any hospital bonds to the
Portfolio, to ensure that the hospitals we choose will be among the survivors in
this increasingly competitive environment.

"In structuring the Portfolio, we've employed a two-pronged strategy in the
Portfolio, emphasizing quality on one hand and prudent yield enhancement on the
other."

Mississippi State University
Renovation Project

Bond proceeds were used to renovate and equip two buildings on the Mississippi
State University campus. The renovations included the conversion of former
dormitory buildings into classroom and office space.

The funds were also used to extend a chilled water loop on the campus in order
to improve the university's heating and cooling system.

The bonds were issued in 1995, with a maturity of 2015. The cost of the project
is estimated to be $3 million.

THE STATE OF THE STATE: Mississippi 

Mississippi's economy, traditionally reliant on cyclical manufacturing, has
shown significant growth in recent years. Expansion in the manufacturing and
service sectors allowed the state's unemployment rate to remain roughly the same
in 1994 as in 1993.

Much of the state's recent job growth came from gaming-related employment in the
early 1990s. It is estimated that some 50,000 jobs were created either directly
or indirectly by this industry. However, with more than 30 casinos now open in
the state, Mississippi is saturated with gambling. In addition, the industry now
faces strong competition from neighboring Louisiana, which is opening gambling
in New Orleans.

Mississippi's economy should continue to grow during the next few years, but
expected changes in the gaming industry, combined with a slowdown in other
sectors, are likely to cause the pace of that growth to be slower than it has
been in recent years.

A positive for the state is its very conservative fiscal management.
Mississippi's debt level is one of the lowest in the country.

FROM THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER: 

"Mississippi is now in a period of economic strength. We have tried to take
advantage of that fact by moving the Portfolio into more state-backed general
obligation bonds.

"At the same time, we have somewhat reduced our exposure to the insured sector
because insured bonds are plentiful and are not as attractive as some other
Mississippi bonds.

"We continue to look to add industrial development bonds to the Portfolio
because they offer an attractive combination of yield and security."

                                    - Cynthia J. Clemson

New York State Power Authority

Historically, three of the top issuer names in New York have been "Ports" (Port
Authorities of New York and New Jersey), "Powers" (New York State Power
Authority) and "Tribes" (Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority). Bonds of these
three issuers are among the highest rated in the market. 

Of the three, we see the most value in Power Authority bonds, especially as a
place to weather any coming storm in BBB-rated New York State-appropriated
bonds. The Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority will likely be under credit
pressure as it begins borrowing plans for the MTA subway system. Port Authority
bonds typically do not offer the attractive coupon structure available on some
Power Authority bonds.

THE STATE OF THE STATE: New York

New York is at a crossroads, with its first new governor in 12 years. Governor
George Pataki's first real chance to make his mark comes with next year's
budget. The impact of his proposed income tax cuts will be felt much more deeply
in the budget for fiscal year 1996-97; it will garner much attention because tax
cuts must be accompanied by spending cuts. It has the potential to be Pataki's
first big step toward streamlining state government and fulfilling his election
promises. 

Given the potential for next year's budget process to be especially contentious
and given that this year's budget was passed late, as often occurs, the Governor
plans an earlier unveiling of the fiscal 1996-97 budget. The goal of matching
spending commitments to ongoing revenue resources is positive for the state's
long-term credit standing but may produce near-term turmoil. 

Of more immediate interest to New York tax-exempt investors is the November
voter referendum on state debt reform. New Yorkers will vote on whether to end
the state's entrenched process of "backdoor borrowing." If debt reform passes,
the state will revamp its borrowing process. Consequently, it currently plans to
issue an unusually heavy calendar of state-supported appropriation debt between
now and year-end.

FROM THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER: 

"Anticipating that state-appropriated debt will underperform in the face of a
heavy new issuance calendar, we have been reducing the Portfolio's exposure to
State appropriation debt and swapping into high-grade debt. Once this wave of
debt has come to market, state-appropriated debt should be attractively priced
and once again represent a buying opportunity. 

"This past summer, during the second leg of the 1995 rally, discount coupon
bonds returned to favor. This was an opportunity to sell deep discounts in the
New York Portfolio and trade into more moderate discount coupon bonds that
should perform comparably to deep discounts in an up market and much better in a
down market."

THE STATE OF THE STATE: Ohio

The Ohio economy continues to be diverse and strong. Overall, the state has
moved from heavy reliance on manufacturing jobs to a more balanced economy.
Ohio's financial position has improved during the last 12 months, allowing the
state to begin restoring its financial reserves. 

The state's service sector has been a source of job growth during the past
several years. While the manufacturing sector grew during the second half of
1994, it is expected to recede somewhat during the last half of 1995.
Unemployment rates at the end of 1994 were considerably lower than the national
average.

The recent robust economic activity in Ohio has helped the state's balance
sheet. Tax receipts were greater than expected in the 1994 fiscal year and
into 1995. For the same reason, Medicaid expenditures were somewhat lower
than anticipated. 

Ohio benefits from relatively conservative management and a debt burden that is
low relative to that of other industrialized states.

FROM THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER:

"The past year has proved to be volatile for the bond market, with a sharp
decline during most of 1994 and the strong bond market rally of 1995. 

"In the Ohio Portfolio, the levels of new bond issuance have decreased
significantly. This creates a supply-and-demand situation that bodes well for
the inherent value of bonds. 

"We remain highly selective in terms of the health care and hospital bonds that
we add to the Portfolio. This sector is extremely competitive nationwide, and it
is important to use thorough research to determine the most attractive
candidates for the Portfolio. These are often medical facilities that have
strengthened themselves through mergers or alliances with other facilities or
HMOs."

THE STATE OF THE STATE: Rhode Island

Rhode Island's economy is softening after barely showing signs of recovery from
the recession of the late 1980s. Employment numbers for 1995 are running below
those of 1994; the state recently had to revise revenues down slightly to
reflect the weaker economy. Even the state's outlook for a "continued recovery
at a sluggish pace" may be too optimistic and the 1.2% annual employment growth
projected may have to be revised downward.

As sobering as this news is, our diversified portfolio of Rhode Island bonds
should not be directly affected by the state's budget and economic problems. For
example, portfolio holdings include tax-exempt debt backed by single-family
mortgage pools, by high-grade corporations and by the state's leading
universities and colleges.

Also, Providence appears to be a bright spot in the state's economic landscape
and may be more of a stabilizing influence than it has been historically.

FROM THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER:

"Over the past year, the goal has been to restructure the Rhode Island Portfolio
to balance long discount holdings with more defensive, higher yielding bonds.
The relatively small Portfolio size makes rebalancing tricky; seemingly small
changes can have a large impact on performance.

"Housing bonds have offered the best opportunity to add yield and a defensive
sector to the Portfolio; holdings in this sector were increased from nearly 12%
in September 1994 to 17% by September 1995. Since housing bonds typically carry
AA or AAA ratings, added exposure to this sector has allowed us to take
advantage of our strong research capabilities by prudently adding higher
yielding BBB credits while maintaining overall credit quality at an average AA
rating."

THE STATE OF THE STATE: West Virginia

West Virginia's economy suffers from a heavy reliance on the coal mining
industry and on employment in older metal and chemical factories.

The state economy recovered well in 1994 from the recession of the early 1990s,
in large part because of the end of the coal strike. That event brought a needed
boost to the state's employment and retail sales.

In 1995, the state's economy has continued to grow, though at a much slower pace
than in 1994. In fact, West Virginia has the slowest rate of growth of the
southeastern states and its unemployment levels still exceed the national
average. During the last year, however, the state experienced significant gains
in the construction, transportation and communications sectors. Increases in
tourism have helped the state's economy slightly, as has growth in Federal
employment.

The state's prospects for economic expansion are enhanced somewhat by the fact
that its population is now increasing.

FROM THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER:

"The West Virginia bond market is extremely sensitive to movements of supply and
demand. The challenge for a portfolio manager is to stay abreast of those
movements.

"We try to purchase issues when they are trading cheaply in the secondary market
and wait for supply to diminish, at which time we can offer them at a
significant profit.

"Our principal focus is on maintaining a `barbell' structure in the Portfolio
that provides good performance in both up and down markets. We want to maintain
both yield and diversification, and to that end are committing a great deal of
effort to researching non-rated private placement issues to gain yield."

                                       - Timothy T. Browse

   + Annualized.
 (1) Includes each Fund's share of its corresponding Portfolio's allocated expenses.
 (2) Portfolio Turnover represents the rate of portfolio activity for the period while the Funds were making investments directly
     in securities. The portfolio turnover rate for the period since the Funds transferred substantially all of their investable
     assets to their respective Portfolios is shown in the Portfolios' financial statements which are included elsewhere in this
     report.
 (3) Total investment return is calculated assuming a purchase at the net asset value on the first day and a sale at the net asset
     value on the last day of each period reported. Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed to be reinvested at the net
     asset value on the payable date. Total return is computed on a non-annualized basis.

   * For the period from the start of business, June 11, 1993, to September 30, 1993.
   + Annualized.
  ++ For the period from the start of business, April 18, 1991, to September 30, 1991.
 +++ The per share amount is not in accord with the net realized and unrealized gain for the period because of the timing of sales
     of Fund shares and the amount of the per share realized and unrealized gains and losses at such time.
 (1) Includes each Fund's share of its corresponding Portfolio's allocated expenses.
 (2) Portfolio Turnover represents the rate of portfolio activity for the period while the Funds were making investments directly
     in securities. The portfolio turnover rate for the period since the Funds transferred substantially all of their investable
     assets to their respective Portfolios is shown in the Portfolios' financial statements which are included elsewhere in this
     report.
 (3) Total investment return is calculated assuming a purchase at the net asset value on the first day and a sale at the net asset
     value on the last day of each period reported. Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed to be reinvested at the net
     asset value on the payable date. Total return is computed on a non-annualized basis.

   + Annualized.
  ++ The per share amount is not in accord with the net realized and unrealized gain for the period because of the timing of sales
     of Fund shares and the amount of the per share realized and unrealized gains and losses at such time.
 (1) Includes each Fund's share of its corresponding Portfolio's allocated expenses.
 (2) Portfolio Turnover represents the rate of portfolio activity for the period while the Funds were making investments directly
     in securities. The portfolio turnover rate for the period since the Funds transferred substantially all of their investable
     assets to their respective Portfolios is shown in the Portfolios' financial statements which are included elsewhere in this
     report.
 (3) Total investment return is calculated assuming a purchase at the net asset value on the first day and a sale at the net asset
     value on the last day of each period reported. Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed to be reinvested at the net
     asset value on the payable date. Total return is computed on a non-annualized basis.

(1) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Eaton Vance Municipals Trust (the Trust) is an entity of the type commonly known
as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940 (1940 Act), as amended, as an open-end management investment
company. The Trust presently consists of sixty-six Funds, eight of which are
included in these financial statements. They include EV Marathon California
Municipals Fund ("Marathon California Fund") (formerly a series of the Eaton
Vance Investment Trust), which is registered under the 1940 Act as a diversified
management investment company, EV Marathon Florida Tax Free Fund ("Marathon
Florida Fund"), EV Marathon Massachusetts Tax Free Fund ("Marathon Massachusetts
Fund"), EV Marathon Mississippi Tax Free Fund ("Marathon Mississippi Fund"), EV
Marathon New York Tax Free Fund ("Marathon New York Fund"), EV Marathon Ohio Tax
Free Fund ("Marathon Ohio Fund"), EV Marathon Rhode Island Tax Free Fund
("Marathon Rhode Island Fund"), and EV Marathon West Virginia Tax Free Fund
("Marathon West Virginia Fund"), each of which is registered under the 1940 Act
as a non-diversifed management investment company. Each Fund invests all of its
investable assets in interests in a separate corresponding open-end management
investment company (a Portfolio), a New York Trust, having the same investment
objective as its corresponding Fund. The Marathon California Fund invests its
assets in the California Tax Free Portfolio, the Marathon Florida Fund invests
its assets in the Florida Tax Free Portfolio, the Marathon Massachusetts Fund
invests its assets in the Massachusetts Tax Free Portfolio, the Marathon
Mississippi Fund invests its assets in the Mississippi Tax Free Portfolio, the
Marathon New York Fund invests its assets in the New York Tax Free Portfolio,
the Marathon Ohio Fund invests its assets in the Ohio Tax Free Portfolio, the
Marathon Rhode Island Fund invests its assets in the Rhode Island Tax Free
Portfolio, and the Marathon West Virginia Fund invests its assets in the West
Virginia Tax Free Portfolio. The value of each Fund's investment in its
corresponding Portfolio reflects the Fund's proportionate interest in the net
assets of that Portfolio (98.2%, 98.8%, 96.7%, 91.7%, 98.4%, 99.2%, 92.7%, 97.2%
at September 30, 1995 for the Marathon California Fund, Marathon Florida Fund,
Marathon Massachusetts Fund, Marathon Mississippi Fund, Marathon New York Fund,
Marathon Ohio Fund, Marathon Rhode Island Fund and Marathon West Virginia Fund,
respectively). The performance of each Fund is directly affected by the
performance of its corresponding Portfolio. The financial statements of each
Portfolio, including the portfolio of investments, are included elsewhere in
this report and should be read in conjunction with each Fund's financial
statements. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies
consistantly followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial
statements. The policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
 
A. INVESTMENT VALUATION--Valuation of securities by the Portfolios is discussed
in Note 1 of the Portfolios' Notes to Financial Statements which are included
elsewhere in this report.
 
B. INCOME--Each Fund's net investment income consists of the Fund's pro rata
share of the net investment income of its corresponding Portfolio, less all
actual and accrued expenses of each Fund determined in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.
 
C. FEDERAL TAXES--Each Fund's policy is to comply with the provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to
distribute to shareholders each year all of its taxable and tax-exempt income,
including any net realized gain on investments. Accordingly, no provision for
federal income or excise tax is necessary. At September 30, 1995, the Funds, for
federal income tax purposes, had capital loss carryovers, which will reduce
taxable income arising from future net realized gain on investments, if any, to
the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code, and thus will reduce the
amount of the distributions which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the
Funds of any liability for federal income or excise tax.
 
The amounts and expiration dates of the capital loss carryovers are as follows:

Marathon California Fund, Marathon Florida Fund, Marathon Massachusetts Fund,
Marathon Mississippi Fund, Marathon New York Fund, Marathon Ohio Fund, Marathon
Rhode Island Fund and Marathon West Virginia Fund, respectively, attributable to
security transactions incurred after October 31, 1994, are treated as arising on
the first day of the Fund's next taxable year.
 
Dividends paid by each Fund from net tax-exempt interest on municipal bonds
allocated from its corresponding Portfolio are not includable by shareholders as
gross income for federal income tax purposes because each Fund and Portfolio
intend to meet certain requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to
regulated investment companies which will enable the Funds to pay
exempt-interest dividends. The portion of such interest, if any, earned on
private activity bonds issued after August 7, 1986, may be considered a tax
preference item to shareholders.
 
D. DEFERRED ORGANIZATION EXPENSES--Costs incurred by each Fund in connection
with its organization, including registration costs, are being amortized on the
straight-line basis over five years.
 
E. DISTRIBUTION COSTS--For book purposes, commissions paid on the sale of Fund
shares and other distribution costs are charged to operations. As a result of a
recent Internal Revenue Service ruling, the Funds changed their tax accounting
for commissions paid from charging the expenses to paid-in capital to charging
the expenses to operations. The change had no effect on either the Fund's
current yield or total return (Notes 2 and 5).
 
F. OTHER--Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.
 
G. RECLASSIFICATION--Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to
conform to the current year presentation.
 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
(2) DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
The net income of each Fund is determined daily and substantially all of the net
income so determined is declared as a dividend to shareholders of record at the
time of declaration. In addition, each Fund declares each day an amount equal to
the excess of tax basis net income over book net income, which amount is
reported for financial statement purposes as a distribution in excess of net
investment income. Distributions are paid monthly. Distributions of allocated
realized capital gains, if any, are made at least annually. Shareholders may
reinvest capital gain distributions in additional shares of a Fund at the net
asset value as of the ex-dividend date. Distributions are paid in the form of
additional shares or, at the election of the shareholders, in cash. The Funds
distinguish between distributions on a tax basis and a financial reporting
basis. Generally accepted accounting principles require that only distributions
in excess of tax basis earnings and profits be reported in the financial
statements as a return of capital. Differences in the recognition or
classification of income between the financial statements and tax earnings and
profits which result in temporary over distributions for financial statements
purposes are classified as distributions in excess of net investment income or
accumulated net realized gains. Permanent differences between book and tax
accounting are reclassified to paid-in capital. During the year ended September
30, 1995, the following reclassifications were made due to permanent differences
between book and tax accounting for distribution costs and certain distributions
related to capital gains:

(4) TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
 
Eaton Vance Management (EVM) serves as the Administrator of each Fund, but
receives no compensation. The Portfolios have engaged Boston Management and
Research (BMR), a subsidiary of EVM, to render investment advisory services. See
Note 2 of the Portfolios' Notes to Financial Statements which are included
elsewhere in this report. Except as to Trustees of the Funds and the Portfolios
who are not members of EVM's or BMR's organization, officers and Trustees
receive remuneration for their services to each Fund out of such investment
adviser fee. Investors Bank & Trust Company (IBT), an affiliate of EVM, serves
as custodian to the Funds and the Portfolios. Pursuant to the respective
custodian agreements, IBT receives a fee reduced by credits which are determined
based on the average cash balances the Funds or the Portfolios maintain with
IBT. All significant credit balances are reported as a reduction of expenses in
the statement of operations. Certain of the officers and Trustees of the Funds
and Portfolios are officers and directors/trustees of the above organizations
(Note 5).
 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
(5) DISTRIBUTION PLAN
 
Each Fund has adopted a distribution plan (the Plans) pursuant to Rule 12b-1
under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Plans require the Funds to pay the
principal underwriter, Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), amounts equal to
1/365 of 0.75% of each Fund's daily net assets, for providing ongoing
distribution services and facilities to the respective Fund. A Fund will
automatically discontinue payments to EVD during any period in which there are
no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges, which are equivalent to the sum
of (i) 5% of the aggregate amount received by the Fund for shares sold plus (ii)
distribution fees calculated by applying the rate of 1% over the prevailing
prime rate to the outstanding balance of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD
reduced by the aggregate amount of contingent deferred sales charges (Note 6)
and amounts theretofore paid to EVD. The amount payable to EVD with respect to
each day is accrued on such day as a liability of each Fund and, accordingly,
reduces the Fund's net assets. For the year ended September 30, 1995, Marathon
California Fund, Marathon Florida Fund, Marathon Massachusetts Fund, Marathon
Mississippi Fund, Marathon New York Fund, Marathon Ohio Fund, Marathon Rhode
Island Fund, and Marathon West Virginia Fund, paid or accrued $3,089,717,
$5,426,132, $2,151,557, $201,593, $4,758,869, $2,361,964, $277,108 and $288,509,
respectively, to or payable to EVD, representing 0.75% of average daily net
assets. At September 30, 1995, the amount of Uncovered Distribution Charges of
EVD calculated under the Plans for Marathon California Fund, Marathon Florida
Fund, Marathon Massachusetts Fund, Marathon Mississippi Fund, Marathon New York
Fund, Marathon Ohio Fund, Marathon Rhode Island Fund, and Marathon West Virginia
Fund were approximately $7,452,000, $22,542,000, $9,990,000, $1,215,000,
$19,716,000, $10,953,000, $1,772,000 and $1,690,000, respectively.
 
In addition, the Plans authorize the Funds to make payments of service fees to
the Principal Underwriter, Authorized Firms and other persons in amounts not
exceeding 0.25% of each Fund's average daily net assets for any fiscal year. The
Trustees have initially implemented the Plans by authorizing the Funds to make
quarterly service fee payments to the Principal Underwriter and Authorized Firms
in amounts not expected to exceed 0.20% (0.25% for the Marathon California Fund)
per annum of each Fund's average daily net assets based on the value of Fund
shares sold by such persons and remaining outstanding for at least one year. For
the year ended September 30, 1995, Marathon California Fund, Marathon Florida
Fund, Marathon Massachusetts Fund, Marathon Mississippi Fund, Marathon New York
Fund, Marathon Ohio Fund, Marathon Rhode Island Fund and Marathon West Virginia
Fund paid or accrued service fees to or payable to EVD in the amount of
$773,184, $1,039,823, $419,842, $33,072, $945,647, $459,460, $37,600 and
$54,613, respectively. Service fee payments are made for personal services
and/or maintenance of shareholder accounts. Service fees paid to EVD and
Authorized Firms are separate and distinct from the sales commissions and
distribution fees payable by each Fund to EVD, and as such are not subject to
automatic discontinuance when there are no outstanding Uncovered Distribution
Charges of EVD.
 
Certain officers and Trustees of the Fund are officers or directors of EVD.
 
                                                                         27

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(6) CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE
 
A contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) is imposed on any redemption of Fund
shares made within six years of purchase. Generally, the CDSC is based upon the
lower of the net asset value at date of redemption or date of purchase. No
charge is levied on shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or capital
gains distributions. The CDSC is imposed at declining rates that begin at 5% in
the case of redemptions in the first and second year after purchase, declining
one percentage point each subsequent year. No CDSC is levied on shares which
have been sold to EVD or its affiliates or to their respective employees or
clients. CDSC charges are paid to EVD to reduce the amount of Uncovered
Distribution Charges calculated under the Fund's Distribution Plan. CDSC charges
received when no Uncovered Distribution Charges exist will be credited to the
Fund. EVD received approximately $1,296,000, $3,811,000, $1,108,000, $152,000,
$2,387,000, $1,200,000, $101,000 and $130,000, respectively, of CDSC paid by
shareholders of Marathon California Fund, Marathon Florida Fund, Marathon
Massachusetts Fund, Marathon Mississippi Fund, Marathon New York Fund, Marathon
Ohio Fund, Marathon Rhode Island Fund and Marathon West Virginia Fund,
respectively, for the year ended September 30, 1995.

obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry or
municipality. In order to reduce the risk associated with such economic
developments, at September 30, 1995, 35.2% of the securities in the portfolio of
investments are backed by bond insurance of various financial institutions and
financial guaranty assurance agencies. The aggregate percentage by financial
institution range from 0.1% to 13.0% of total investments.

The Portfolio invests primarily in debt securities issued by Florida
municipalities. The ability of the issuers of the debt securities to meet their
obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry or
municipality. In order to reduce the risk associated with such economic
developments, at September 30, 1995, 50.8% of the securities in the portfolio of
investments are backed by bond insurance of various financial guaranty assurance
agencies. The aggregate percentage by financial institution ranges from 0.2% to
12.8% of total investments.

The Portfolio invests primarily in debt securities issued by Massachusetts
municipalities. The ability of the issuers of the debt securities to meet their
obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry or
municipality. In order to reduce the risk associated with such economic
developments, at September 30, 1995, 21.2% of the securities in the portfolio of
investments are backed by bond insurance of various financial institutions and
financial guaranty assurance agencies. The aggregate percentage by financial
institution ranged from 0.5% to 7.3% of total investments.

The Portfolio invests primarily in debt securities issued by Mississippi
municipalities. The ability of the issuers of the debt securities to meet their
obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry or
municipality. In order to reduce the risk associated with such economic
developments, at September 30, 1995, 49.9% of the securities in the portfolio of
investments are backed by bond insurance of various financial institutions and
financial guaranty assurance agencies. The aggregate percentage by financial
institution ranged from 1.2% to 36.3% of total investments.

The Portfolio invests primarily in debt securities issued by New York
municipalities. The ability of the issuers of the debt securities to meet their
obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry or
municipality. In order to reduce the risk associated with such economic
developments, at September 30, 1995, 23.7% of the securities in the portfolio of
investments are backed by bond insurance of various financial institutions and
financial guaranty assurance agencies. The aggregate percentage by financial
institution ranged from 0.1% to 11.0% of total investment.

</TABLE>
The Portfolio invests primarily in debt securities issued by Ohio
municipalities. The ability of the issuers of the debt securities to meet their
obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry or
municipality. In order to reduce the risk associated with such economic
developments, at September 30, 1995, 36.3% of the securities in the portfolio of
investments are backed by bond insurance of various financial institutions and
financial guaranty assurance agencies. The aggregate percentage by financial
institution ranged from 2.0% to 11.4% of total investments.

The Portfolio invests primarily in debt securities issued by Rhode Island
municipalities. The ability of the issuers of the debt securities to meet their
obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry or
municipality. In order to reduce the risk associated with such economic
developments, at September 30, 1995, 52.7% of the securities in the portfolio of
investments are backed by bond insurance of various financial institutions and
financial guaranty assurance agencies. The aggregate percentage by financial
institution ranged from 1.9% to 37.4% of total investments.

The Portfolio invests primarily in debt securities issued by West Virginia
municipalities. The ability of the issuers of the debt securities to meet their
obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry or
municipality. In order to reduce the risk associated with such economic
developments, at September 30, 1995, 49.3% of the securities in the portfolio of
investments are backed by bond insurance of various financial institutions and
financial guaranty assurance agencies. The aggregate percentage by financial
institution ranged from 2.0% to 20.9% total investments.

                         Notes to Financial Statements

(1) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
California Tax Free Portfolio (California Portfolio) is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified open-end Management Investment
Company. Florida Tax Free Portfolio (Florida Portfolio), Massachusetts Tax Free
Portfolio (Massachusetts Portfolio), Mississippi Tax Free Portfolio (Mississippi
Portfolio), New York Tax Free Portfolio (New York Portfolio), Ohio Tax Free
Portfolio (Ohio Portfolio), Rhode Island Tax Free Portfolio (Rhode Island
Portfolio) and West Virginia Tax Free Portfolio (West Virginia Portfolio),
collectively the Portfolios, are registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940 as non-diversified open-end management investment companies. The Portfolios
were organized as trusts under the laws of the State of New York on May 1, 1992.
The Declarations of Trust permit the Trustees to issue interests in the
Portfolios. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies
consistently followed by the Portfolios in the preparation of their financial
statements. The policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
 
A. INVESTMENT VALUATIONS--Municipal bonds are normally valued on the basis of
valuations furnished by a pricing service. Taxable obligations, if any, for
which price quotations are readily available are normally valued at the mean
between the latest bid and asked prices. Futures contracts listed on commodity
exchanges are valued at closing settlement prices. Short-term obligations,
maturing in sixty days or less, are valued at amortized cost, which approximates
value. Investments for which valuations or market quotations are unavailable are
valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the
direction of
the Trustees.
 
B. INCOME--Interest income is determined on the basis of interest accrued,
adjusted for amortization of premium or discount when required for federal
income tax purposes.
 
C. INCOME TAXES--The Portfolios are treated as partnerships for Federal tax
purposes. No provision is made by the Portfolios for federal or state taxes on
any taxable income of the Portfolios because each investor in the Portfolios is
ultimately responsible for the payment of any taxes. Since some of the
Portfolios' investors are regulated investment companies that invest all or
substantially all of their assets in the Portfolios, the Portfolios normally
must satisfy the applicable source of income and diversification requirements
(under the Internal Revenue Code) in order for their respective investors to
satisfy them. The Portfolios will allocate at least annually among their
respective investors each investor's distributive share of the Portfolios' net
taxable (if any) and tax-exempt investment income, net realized capital gains,
and any other items of income, gain, loss, deductions or credit. Interest income
received by the Portfolios on investments in municipal bonds, which is
excludable from gross income under the Internal Revenue Code, will retain its
status as income exempt from federal income tax when allocated to each
Portfolio's investors. The portion of such interest, if any, earned on private
activity bonds issued after August 7, 1986, may be considered a tax preference
item for investors.
 
D. DEFERRED ORGANIZATIONAL EXPENSES--Costs incurred by a Portfolio in connection
with its organization are being amortized on the straight-line basis over five
years.
 
E. FINANCIAL FUTURES CONTRACTS--Upon the entering of a financial futures
contract, a Portfolio is required to deposit ("initial margin") either in cash
or securities an amount equal to a certain percentage of the purchase price
indicated in the financial futures contract. Subsequent payments are made or
received by a Portfolio ("margin maintenance") each day, dependent on the daily
fluctuations in the value of the underlying security, and are recorded for book
purposes as unrealized gains or losses by a Portfolio. A Portfolio's investment
in financial futures contracts is designed only to hedge against anticipated
future changes in interest rates. Should interest rates move unexpectedly, the
Portfolios may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures
contracts and may realize a loss.
 
F. WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS-- The Portfolios may engage in
when-issued and delayed delivery transactions. The Portfolio records when-issued
securities on trade date and maintains security positions such that sufficient
liquid assets will be available to make payments for the securities purchased.
Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis are
marked-to-market daily and begin earning interest on settlement date.
 
G. OTHER -- Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.

(2) INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
 
The investment adviser fee is earned by Boston Management and Research (BMR), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Eaton Vance Management (EVM), as compensation for
management and investment advisory services rendered to each Portfolio. The fee
is based upon a percentage of average daily net assets plus a percentage of
gross income (i.e., income other than gains from the sale of securities). For
the year ended September 30, 1995, each Portfolio paid advisory fees as follows:

<FN>
* Advisory fees paid as a percentage of average daily net assets.
</TABLE>
 
To enhance the net income of the Mississippi Portfolio, Rhode Island Portfolio
and West Virginia Portfolio, BMR made a reduction in its fee in the amount of
$36,759, $50,721 and $32,526, respectively, for the year ended September 30,
1995.
 
Except as to Trustees of the Portfolios who are not members of EVM's or BMR's
organization, officers and Trustees receive remuneration for their services to
the Portfolios out of such investment adviser fee. Investors Bank & Trust
Company (IBT), an affiliate of EVM and BMR, serves as custodian of the
Portfolios. Pursuant to the custodian agreements, IBT receives a fee reduced by
credits which are determined based on the average daily cash balances each
Portfolio maintains with IBT. All significant credit balances are reported as a
reduction of expenses in the statement of operations.
 
Certain of the officers and Trustees of the Portfolios are officers and
directors/trustees of the above organizations. Trustees of the Portfolio that
are not affiliated with the Investment Adviser may elect to defer receipt of all
or a percentage of their annual fees in accordance with the terms of the
Trustees Deferred Compensation Plan. For the year ended September 30, 1995, no
significant amounts have
been deferred.

(5) LINE OF CREDIT
 
The Portfolios participate with other portfolios and funds managed by BMR and
EVM in a $120 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a bank. The line
of credit consists of a $20 million committed facility and a $100 million
discretionary facility. Each Portfolio may temporarily borrow up to 5% of its
total assets to satisfy redemption requests or settle securities transactions.
Interest is charged to each portfolio or fund based on its borrowings at an
amount above either the bank's adjusted certificate of deposit rate, a variable
adjusted certificate of deposit rate, or a federal funds effective rate. In
addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 1/4 of 1% on the $20 million
committed facility and on the daily unused portion of the $100 million
discretionary facility is allocated among the participating funds and portfolios
at the end of each quarter. At September 30, 1995, the California Portfolio,
Massachusetts Portfolio, Mississippi Portfolio, New York Portfolio, Ohio
Portfolio and West Virginia Portfolio had loan balances outstanding pursuant to
this line of credit of $2,032,000, $2,018,000, $405,000, $476,000, $3,860,000
and $970,000, respectively.
 
For the year ended September 30, 1995, the average daily balance outstanding
pursuant to this line of credit, the average interest rate and the maximum
outstanding month end balance were as follows:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
(6) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
The Portfolios regularly trade in financial instruments with off-balance sheet
risk in the normal course of their investing activities to assist in managing
exposure to various market risks. These financial instruments include written
options and futures contracts and may involve, to a varying degree, elements of
risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes.
 
The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments represent the
investment a Portfolio has in particular classes of financial instruments and
does not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The
measurement of the risks associated with these instruments is meaningful only
when all related and offsetting transactions are considered.
 
A summary of obligations under these financial instruments at September 30,
1995, were as follows:

                          Independent Auditors' Report

TO THE TRUSTEES AND INVESTORS OF:
  CALIFORNIA TAX FREE PORTFOLIO
  FLORIDA TAX FREE PORTFOLIO
  MASSACHUSETTS TAX FREE PORTFOLIO
  MISSISSIPPI TAX FREE PORTFOLIO
  NEW YORK TAX FREE PORTFOLIO
  OHIO TAX FREE PORTFOLIO
  RHODE ISLAND TAX FREE PORTFOLIO
  WEST VIRGINIA TAX FREE PORTFOLIO
 
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolios of investments, of California Tax Free Portfolio, Florida Tax
Free Portfolio, Massachusetts Tax Free Portfolio, Mississippi Tax Free
Portfolio, New York Tax Free Portfolio, Ohio Tax Free Portfolio, Rhode Island
Tax Free Portfolio and West Virginia Tax Free Portfolio as of September 30,
1995, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the
statements of changes in net assets for the years ended September 30, 1995 and
1994, and for the California Tax Free Portfolio, the year ended March 31, 1994,
and the supplementary data for each of the years in the three-year period ended
September 30, 1995. These financial statements and supplementary data are the
responsibility of each Trusts' management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on the financial statements and supplementary data based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and supplementary
data are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned at
September 30, 1995, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where
replies were not received from brokers, we performed other audit procedures. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, such financial statements and supplementary data present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of California Tax Free
Portfolio, Florida Tax Free Portfolio, Massachusetts Tax Free Portfolio,
Mississippi Tax Free Portfolio, New York Tax Free Portfolio, Ohio Tax Free
Portfolio, Rhode Island Tax Free Portfolio and West Virginia Tax Free Portfolio
at September 30, 1995, the results of their operations, the changes in their net
assets and their supplementary data for the respective stated periods in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
